Bug Description
Since upgrading to Quantal, my Belkin bluetooth mouse disconnects sporadically from my computer. Sometimes this will happen several times a day, at other times it will stay connected for almost the entire day without a problem.
After the connection is dropped, Bluetooth seems to become unresponsive. Generally unplugging and replugging the USB adapter is necessary to return it to a usable state.
It was extremely reliable under Precise.

Some updates:
When I lose the ability to move the mouse, the light on the Bluetooth adapter continues to flash if the mouse is moved, suggesting that Bluetooth commands are still being received. I am able to reconnect the mouse by disconnecting the Bluetooth adapter, reinserting it and reconnecting. However, I have found that I have to switch to a TTY and back to Unity to be able to move the mouse.
Due to this (and the fact that the mouse was rock solid under Precise) I am certain that the problem lies with Ubuntu and not with my hardware. I have downgraded to Precise's Bluetooth stack to check if this is a regression.
